Study Notes
Roles and Responsibilities
- Linced Personnel: Perform basic tasks under the supervision of a registered nurse.
- Registered Nurses: Administer medications, report patient condition changes to physicians, and evaluate other nurses within the hospital setting.
Radiation Safety
- Patient Protection: Individuals are not exposed to radiation for evaluation, training, or research purposes.
- Focal Spot-to-Skin Distance: A larger distance reduces radiation exposure.
- Collimation: Reduces radiation exposure by limiting the beam area, but can impact image quality.
- Automatic Exposure Control (AEC): Not used in the presence of radiopaque materials, such as metal.
- Dose Creep: Avoid increasing radiation doses out of fear of poor image quality.
Cell Sensitivity and Radiation Effects
- Mitotic Rate: Cells that divide rapidly are more sensitive to radiation than those with slow replication rates.
- Example: Blood-producing cells are highly sensitive compared to nerve cells.
Trauma Management
- Sub Trauma: Injuries from sports or other activities that do not require immediate attention.
- Acute Trauma: Urgent medical attention is required with monitoring of vital signs and pain management.
- Levels of Consciousness:
- Alert and Conscious: Fully aware and responsive.
- Drowsy: Slightly impaired consciousness.
- Unconscious but Reactive: Responds to stimuli but is not fully aware.
- Comatose: Unconscious and unresponsive.
